Summary

This is a trial assessing the efficacy of two weight maintenance programs for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and the patients' caregivers. Patients and their caregivers will be randomized 1:1 to Arm A, a non-intensive educational intervention using National Institute of Health (NIH) Educational Resources (We Can! for children 8-13 and Take Charge of Your Health for teenagers 14-18), or Arm B, a Modified Guided Self-Help Family Intervention for Leukemia patients (mL-GSH). Outcomes will be assessed through activity trackers, obesity biometrics, and nutrition and physical activity assessments.
